Anything you dose to promote coralline (like Purple Tech) is mostly calcium, so you're effectively double-dosing your calcium. It takes a while, but...
Peps can be hit or miss. I know it doesn't help you any at this stage, but when you see the first aiptasia you have to get rid of it. Once they get...
Maybe you need more friends with tanks? ;)
Ooooh, I want a yellow one! I did read up on the bicolor cuz it's smaller, and it didn't seem like the best idea for a reef tank to me. I still...
Yep, very common. Those translators are crap LOL.
I agree with Blackraven. Mandarins are a huge committment feeding-wise, especially in a small tank with no fuge. Many mandarins die of starvation...

I agree. I guess I don't understand the getting discouraged by seeing other peoples' tanks. My tank is my tank, and it's nothing like anyone...
Actually, some species can get a lot bigger than 3 inches LOL. We have tons of 1/4" ones. They run over, grab a crab pellet, and carry it off!
The bristles would've come off in your fingers. Ever touch fiberglass? :D
